Peachy Keen Moscow Mules

I have a HUGE list of recipes that I eventually want to create for this blog. Whenever inspiration strikes me, via a meal in a resataurant or a dish in a food magazine, I make a note of it (and usually how I’ll put my own spin on it, too). “Cocktail made with jam” has been on that list for over a year. I can’t pinpoint exactly where the idea for this came from, but I know I’ve seen cocktails made with jam at several bars in my area, as well as recipes online.

It makes good sense – after all, who doesn’t have a random jar of jam in their fridge? I have about six. They’re such a quick and fun way to add a little flavor to a classic cocktail without any additional work on your part, aside from opening the jar and finding a spoon.

As soon as I saw the jam, I knew the time had come for my cocktail to become a reality! Nevermind that the jam contained bourbon, and I really just wanted to make a moscow mule (which is made with vodka). Vodka + Bourbon = FINE BY ME.

This post was written by me on behalf of Mitten Crate, who provided me with a free box for recipe development purposes. I was not otherwise compensated for writing this post, and all opinions are 100% my own.

This drink sounds quite nice. But what really intrigued me was the can of hop soda from your Mitten Box. I went to the site and it would appear that it really is made from hops. I’d be really interested to know how it is if/when you try it.

I’ve been looking forward to trying this one, too. It got pushed to the back of the fridge for a few weeks, but I just found it again a few days ago. Sadly, Jeff is on a work trip this week, and I know he would want to try it. Once he gets home, we’ll split it and I’ll report back!
